Ingredients
- 2 2 lb stewing beef cut into 2" pieces
- ⅓ ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ ½ teaspoon each: salt and pepper
- 1 1 tablespoon EACH: oil and butter
- 1 1 large onion minced
- 2 2 stalks celery diced
- 4 4 cloves garlic minced
- 5.5 5.5 ounce can tomato paste
- 1 1 tablespoon gelatin (omit if using homemade beef stock)
- 2 2 cups beef stock
- 1 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1 ounce dark chocolate chopped
- 3 3 medium carrots chopped
- 10 10 small potatoes
- 1 1 tall can of Guinness 440ml/ 14.8 oz
Instructions
- Place the beef into a bowl, sprinkle the flour, salt, and pepper, and mix so that the beef chunks are all coated. Heat the oil and butter in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the beef, working in batches so as not to crowd the pan, and sear until well browned on all sides. Transfer the beef to your slow cooker.
- Add the onion, celery stalks, and garlic to the pan and saute until the onion is soft and starting to brown, about 5-7 minutes. Add the tomato paste and let it caramelize for 2-3 minutes, or until is starts to darken and turn sweet smelling. Transfer to your slow cooker.
- Mix the gelatin into the beef stock then pour that into your slow cooker along with the Worcestershire sauce, chocolate, carrots, potatoes, and Guinness. Set your slow cooker to cook on low for 8-10 hours. The stew is done when the meat is super tender and the potatoes are soft.
